No, the most commonly talked about form of hemophilia is a genetic disorder that simply prevents the person't liver from producing very specific proteins called clotting factors.

There is also blood disorders referred to as acquired hemophilia. The cases of acquired hemophilia is on the rise due to the vast number of blood thinning and liver damaging medications on the market today. Things such as extensive liver damage and certain medications can also inhibit clotting factor production or effectiveness.

In neither of these cases is hemophilia caused by a pathogen though.
