Is it possible that this is angular cheilitis?

From time to time I seem to get this although I have never been diagnosed
with it. For me an over-consumption of citrus fruit seems to prompt it...

The condition is not a diagnosis of HIV - I notice that many websites that
mention and describe the term also seem to be HIV related.
