You can use -sts gen- to create variables
containing the values of the survival

*----------- begin example ----------
sysuse cancer, clear
stset studytime, failure(died)
sts gen tsurv = s
sts gen bsurv = s, by(drug)
twoway line bsurv _t if drug==1, sort || /*
*/ line bsurv _t if drug==2, sort || /*
*/ line bsurv _t if drug==3, sort || /*
*/ line tsurv _t, sort /*
*/ xtitle("analysis time") /*
*/ ytitle("") /*
*/ title("Kaplan-Meier survival estimates") /*
*/ legend(label(1 "placebo") /*
*/ label(2 "drug 2" ) /*
*/ label(3 "drug 3" ) /*
*/ label(4 "total" ) )
