Brief Answer:
both of you should continue medications as per the doctor's advice...

Detailed Answer:
Hello there...
Welcome back to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
I've gone through your query in details...
I can understand your concerns...

Well, the first priority would be to cure the infection in the first place...Simultaneously, it'd be necessary to keep taking multivitamins along with a well balanced, high protein, antioxidant-rich diet (healthy homemade foods, including plenty of fresh green leafy vegetables, seasonal fruits, a bowl of salads with olive oil, peanuts, pomegranates, black olives, cucumbers, sesame seeds, dates, pistachios etc.) devoid of any form of smoking and alcohol (if at all do)...

Yes, both of you must continue the medications as already advised by your doctor. Theoretically, 20million may seem less, but practically, chances are definitely there...

There are a lot of advancements in this field, and several other methods are also available, even if the medications won't be that effective. However, since it's only been 8months, just follow the advice of your doctor for now and observe the progress thereafter...

Take Care
Kind Regards
