There are over a dozen of different types of leukemia with different causations.. most of them nonviral. So generally, the answer is no. However, one form is believed to have a viral cause.
While leukemia is not standardly a sexually transmissible disease, Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma is believed to be caused by HTLV-1 virus. "Transmission of HTLV-1 is believed to occur from mother to child; by sexual contact; and through exposure to contaminated blood, either through blood transfusion or sharing of contaminated needles."
