Speaking about her new documentary film, India's Hidden Plague, in an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's This Week, the actress said it costs just $10 to educate a person about the risks and protect them for an entire year.
The actress met with HIV/AIDS orphans in India while making the film.
"It's very real, and it's real stories and real heartache and also real opportunity to focus on a solution that is very cost-effective and has an extraordinarily meaningful impact in the lives of young people," Judd said.
India's Hidden Plague is set to premiere Nov. 30 on the National Geographic Channel.
