No, they are caused by the Herpes Simplex 1 virus that only likes to set up shop in your lips.
Caution - Although Herpes 1 (coldsores) is a slightly different virus to Herpes 2 (Genital herpes) it can be transferred to your genitals and have similar effects. So if you have a coldsore try not to directly touch it and then your genitals as this could transfer the virus and have some pretty unpleasant and lifelong effects, there is no cure for Herpes Simplex 1 or 2 although treatment is getting better and work is underway to find a vaccine. Also don't engage in oral sex with anyone when you have a coldsore - you can transfer it that way too
