  Static and non-static thermal screening states that couple to the conserved
vector current are investigated in the high-temperature phase of QCD. Their
masses and couplings to the current are determined at weak coupling, as well as
using two-flavor lattice QCD simulations. A consistent picture emerges from the
comparison, providing evidence that non-static Matsubara modes can indeed be
treated perturbatively. We elaborate on the physical significance of the
screening masses.
