Fisher's exact test is available under the -epitab- package of official 
Stata, and so are confidence intervals for the odds ratio (which are 
probably more informative than Fisher's exact test alone). In Stata, type 
-help epitab-. Or read the Stata reference manual under -[R] epitab-.

I hope this helps.
