Biographical note

Mike Youle is a British doctor and clinical researcher specializing in HIV treatment. He qualified at Sheffield Medical School in 1984, the year after a team at the Pasteur Institute in France reported that they had isolated a new retrovirus that they believed was the cause of AIDS. His clinical career has spanned almost the entire duration of the AIDS epidemic, and has been primarily devoted to the clinical care of HIV patients and research to further that end.

He was one of the founders of the Kobler Clinic at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London in 1986, the first purpose built integrated care and research centre in the UK for HIV and associated conditions. Since 1996 he has been the Director of HIV Clinical Research at London's Royal Free Hospital as well as an Honorary Senior Lecturer in General Medicine at its associated medical school.

In 1990-1991 Mike Youle served as a consultant for the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS and the National Programme on AIDS in Kampala. In 2004 he held a visiting professorship at the University of Belgrade.

Youle is best known for publicising the concept of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PREP) for HIV and has studied the health economics of HIV therapy as well as ageing in HIV-postitive people.
