But my boyfriend is scheduled to go to the doctor next week to see if he has hemophilia.
He was bleeding for 30mins straight on his legs.[/quote]

It may be possible that he just has thin blood?

My uncle doesn't have hemophilia but when he gets a cut he ends up bleeding quite a lot.

I have two Hemophiliac step brothers, and the answer is no. You have it from birth to death.

Edit: It can be acquired later on in life but it is very very rare. usually happens to the elderly. When it is acquired later on it can be resolved as opposed to normal hemophiliacs who cannot be cured.

Possibly?
From my basic knowledge of the disease it's genetic. But I can only assume your body could just gradually stop producing the protein that causes blood to clot.
