Yes, as in only males can have hemophilia.
Traditional Hemophilia is present from birth and throughout the individual's life. This is because the disorder is genetically linked and genetics are pretty much set at the time of conception. Acquired Hemophilia, which is much more rare, can begin at pretty much any stage of an individual's life. While being more common in older people than younger, any person on certain medications, people with liver disease, and a handful of other situations can develop acquired hemophilia. (Acquired hemophilia is not inherited.)
An inherited sex-linked recessive gene passed on from the mother.
X linked diseases when recessive are only present in female children when both parents have the disease. If the mother is only a carrier of the disease then each male child would have a 50% probability of having the disease, but no female children would be affected (50% would be carriers).
