In 1994 Pedro Zamora joined the cast of The Real World San Francisco where he openly discussed his HIV status, sexuality, and relationship with his partner, Sean Sasser. One day after the final episode of The Real World aired, aged just 22, Pedro passed away. As one of the first openly gay and HIV positive people in mainstream media he inspired and educated a generation and his HIV education legacy lives on. This week, is Pedro's week.
