The STI/HIV Operations and Resource System (SHOARS) is a new customer relationship management system that can be accessed via MiLogin. SHOARS allows the Bureau of HIV and STI Programs (BHSP) Partners to engage with the diverse resources of BHSP. In SHOARS, users are able to create a profile and centralize interactions with BHSP. SHOARS improves the relationship between BHSP and BHSP Partners to efficiently provide services for Michiganders who are at risk and/or living with HIV and STIs.
If you have questions, feedback, or need assistance with SHOARS, please contact SHOARS Support.
Please do not include any Protected Health Information (PHI) or Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when contacting SHOARS. This includes information that can be used to identify, contact, or locate a person with HIV/STIs (i.e., patient name, DOB, address, email, SSN, etc.).

New HIV/STI System Users: The HIV/STI Systems in the table below require authorization prior to accessing the system. If you need access to any of these systems, submit an authorization request within SHOARS. Approval will be determined by the assigned SHOARS authorization staff and management groups.
Please Note: Requesting authorization to an HIV/STI system (Aphirm, CAREWare, DCH File Transfer, EGrAMS, LMS, MDSS, MIDAP Online) in SHOARS is for tracking purposes only and is not how you will access these systems. SHOARS tracks users who are authorized to access these systems to improve our processes and further protect client data.
Existing HIV/STI System Users: Once you have created a SHOARS account, Bureau of HIV and STI Programs (BHSP) staff will manually enter your authorization for any HIV/STI systems you currently access (see examples in table below). You may receive emails from SHOARS indicating our team is requesting authorization to these systems on your behalf. No action is required on your end and your access to these systems will not be affected. Please periodically review your profile in SHOARS to confirm it accurately displays what HIV/STI systems you currently access.
If there are any questions or concerns regarding this process, contact us at: MDHHS-SHOARS-SUPPORT@michigan.gov.
