Hi!
Your partner probably has cervical dysplasia, and this could be the reason for bleeding after sex. Low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, or LGSIL is the most common cervical dysplasia and usually due to HPV. It clears by itself usually in two years time. Usually a "watch and wait" approach is followed after  biopsies taken from 3 different lesions are negative. Because this usually resolves itself, no medical treatment is usually needed. Biopsies are repeated at yearly or six monthly intervals and if after a repeat biopsy there is progression of lesion then procedures such as LEEP, cryosurgery, cone biopsy, electrocauterization and laser are tried.
This is probably the approach being taken by her doctor, but you can discuss this with her treating doctor.  Hope this helps. Take care!
