Herpes will not affect lifespan. Almost everyone has the oral form of herpes simplex virus. Both the oral and genital forms integrate into our genomes after we are infected and will cause periodic outbreaks. As time goes on these will most likely become less and less frequent. Therefore people who have had genital herpes for decades will have fewer outbreaks in a year, or possibly none at all. This does not indicate that they have been "cured" or no longer have the virus as they are still able to spread the infection while asymptomatic.
