Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Low testosterone itself causes reduction in sperm count. So testosterone supplement is needed.
Chronic use of testosterone may lead to decreased sperm count . But usually when supplement is started it is monitored regularly with blood testosterone level and stopped when normal level is reached.
So using testosterone injection with adequate monitoring doesn't affect fertility.
Hope I have answered your query.
