dear sir, hi! as of testosterone treatment affecting blood donation, defintely there is no relation. you can go ahead and help the society. but a piece of advise for you, reconsult your doctor to adjust your testosterone dosage. it should not be maintained at such high levels. high platelet count is only one side effect, there are many more. regards!
